Love Island can be downright unfair sometimes, can’t it? There are some Islanders who just don’t get a fair deal in the villa and are sent packing on the next flight to London Stansted faster than you can say, “The person I’d like to couple up with is…”

One such Islander who comes to mind is Love Island 2023’s Ruchee Gurung, who we know would have gone down in the show’s history as an iconic queen had she stayed in the villa longer.

We’ve now got our fingers crossed for a Love Island All Stars return for Ruchee after she took to Instagram to reveal a dramatic transformation.

Ruchee shared her new look with fans after a trip to the salon to dye her usually brunette hair a gorgeous shade of blonde.

The reality star posted a snap on her freshly dyed hair being tousled by her hair stylist following a TOWIE-esque blowdry and she looks amazing.

And what better time for a new look than a major telly comeback on All Stars. We’re crossing everything…

During her brief time in the villa, Ruchee coupled up with Mehdi Edno and Andre Furtado but neither romance worked out.

Ruchee and Mehdi quickly realised they weren’t romantically compatible, but her relationship with Andre showed a bit more promise. Although Andre chose to leave Ruchee for Catherine Agbaje, they reunited when Catherine was stolen by Zach Noble.

There were even rumours that Ruchee and Andre had recoupled on the outside world after they were dumped from the island when they were spotted looking very cosy on a night out together.

Fans were rooting for the pair to rekindle their romance, however both Andre and Ruchee are believed to be single at the moment – which also bodes well for a possible All Stars appearance. Just saying…

ITV bosses are keeping the All Stars line-up tightly under wraps at the moment, but what we do know is that the series will air next month.
